Regional Alentejo, Portugal

This 'colheita seleccionada' is made from four different grape varieties: Alicante Bouschet, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Touriga Nacional. Together they provide expression and complexity in smell and taste. After fermentation, half of the wine is aged for about six months in large 400-litre oak casks. This is followed by the assembly with the non-oak aged wine. This creates a beautiful balance between ripe fruit tones and the influence of the oak. A beautiful alentejo wine that is also contemporary because of the soft tannin.

The vineyards of this beautiful domain are located in the Alentejo, east of Lisbon. According to many wine writers, this is currently the most exciting wine region in Portugal. For father and son, both with the name Alexandre Relvas, optimally ripe grapes and a sophisticated vinification are the conditions for full-bodied and soft wines. This distinguishes them from mass producers who have to work with less homogeneously ripe grapes.
